Speaker Due Dates

By September 13

Email your speaker photo

If you haven’t submitted a photo to the Guild before or need to update it, email it to programs@LearningGuild.com. Photos must be:
  • In color
  • In TIFF, JPG, or PNG format
  • A minimum of 4”X6” at 300 DPI
  • Named “Last_First.fileformat” (for example “Kelly_David.jpg”)

By September 13

Review session description and speaker bio

Your session description and speaker bio are based on content from your proposal. However, we edit all content to conform to Learning Guild length and format standards.

Please review your session description and bio carefully and let us know if the content is inaccurate or no longer aligns with the content you plan to deliver.

If you have minor edits, send them to programs@LearningGuild.com.

  • Copy and paste the text from the website to a Word document.
  • Please use the “track changes” option when editing or indicate your edits with bold red text.


NOTE: Please suggest minor edits only. It is not acceptable to change your session’s focus or objectives or to make other significant changes at this point.

You can update your own bio, job title, and company name using the Learning Guild Events app; if there are changes, please let us know, though, so your information will be correct on your session room sign and session materials

By October 4

All speakers and co-speakers must register; co-speakers must also have paid their registration fee.

  • The first co-presenter listed in the submission form receives a discounted registration rate and is responsible for registering and paying for their registration by the deadline.
  • Speakers not registered by this date risk losing their speaking status
  • Additional co-presenters must register at regular conference rates and are encouraged to take advantage of any discounts that apply (note that September 13 is the early registration discount deadline)

 

NOTE: We have sent registration links to all Primary and First Co-speakers. If you are a speaker who did not receive your link, please contact us immediately.

By October 25

Co-located Event materials for print are due

  • We must receive any workshop materials you wish the Learning Guild to print for participants by this date in order to make our print deadline.
  • Please email these materials in PDF format to programs@LearningGuild.com.
  • Find additional information about session materials here.
  • Materials for pre-conference workshops will NOT be posted in the event app.

NOTE: This is the drop-dead submission date. If we do not receive your materials by this date, you are responsible for making copies of your materials and for any related costs, including but not limited to copy and shipping costs.

By November 1

Reserve your hotel room to receive the special room rate at the event hotel

  • Speakers are responsible for making their own hotel reservations.
  • Rooms at the conference hotel are available at a discounted rate.
  • We recommend booking as early as possible, as our hotel block routinely sells out.

By November 10

Concurrent session materials are due

Session slide decks and digital resources can greatly enhance the attendee experience. They’re also something attendees regularly request during and after the event. While you are not required to submit session materials, we strongly encourage it.
